2024 Paris Olympic Games Equestrian Updates
It only comes around every four years—the Olympic Games—and with it, we bring you updates from the U.S. team as they compete against other leading equestrian athletes from around the world as horse-and-rider combinations try their hearts out for a medal. We’re excited to follow the action with news from within the horse industry, especially for those riders who are Pony Club alumni. And that title of alumni also includes those riders from our international partners who have joined the U.S. team after being part of a Pony Club abroad. Many riders, including numerous Olympians have gotten their start within Pony Club, which provides an incredible foundation for not only riding skills, but horse care and management skills. Pony Club is proud to cheer on its membership at events big and small, from the Olympics on down to regional rallies. Don’t forget to check out the links to fun snippets from the event, learn more about the team, including several team members that the Pony Club staff have interviewed on the Pony Club Podcast, and find out the results from each day using the buttons above.

The United States Pony Clubs, Inc. (USPC or Pony Club) is the largest equestrian educational organization in North America. Started in 1954, the organization has developed curriculum that teaches safe riding skills and the care of horses through mounted and unmounted lessons. Through Pony Club, members have fun with horses and make lifelong friends while they develop skills, habits, and values that extend well beyond the barn and last a lifetime. Many members apply what they have learned in the USPC program successfully in their careers, educational and volunteer opportunities, and other life pursuits.
